Born in the Kwangtung, China, Nancy was a loving and caring mother who braved coming to America to reunite with her husband in 1961 to provide a better future for her family. They lived in various locations until purchasing a home just off Oklahoma Ave. where she lived for the next 30 years. She worked alongside with Ben for many years at various restaurants as a cook and they finally started a family diner in the 1980's. Upon her retirement she enjoyed visiting with her family as well as the occasional trip to the casino where she once won a new car in a random drawing. She enjoyed cooking for the family (especially pastries), making dim sum trips to Chicago, growing and tending her garden, and watching old style era Chinese movies. She will be deeply missed by her family.
